garage

I'm sure most of you attempt or have attempted to carry out work on your own car before, mechanical minded or not. I for one have very little experience working on cars but can't resist having a go with a 'how hard can it be attitude'. As of yet I haven't caused any major damage (touch wood)...

Hi After having some trouble with a misfire, I took my car to a garage and had the whole ignition system changed. It turns out they didn't replace the HT leads like for like and the ones I have now, though working fine, are quite a loose fit. My question is, should I replace these with the...

Due to fitting the JMS RS2 Manifold I no longer require this brilliant piece of kit. As you can see from the pictures it is in very good condition and contains everything you need to fully fit including the instruction/fitting manual and a can of itg air filter oil for servicing. I have the...

Right lads I was tinkering on with the red rocket in the garage this week and had positioned it as close to the up and over garage door as possible so I had plenty of space at the front of the garage and the car. I then stupidly jacked the car up to change the wheels and opened the garage door...

Saw you while i was filling my car up at tescos in church langley, Harlow, on Friday Morning. I think you are on here and that you used to own a trophy?

well i say at it again,even though this is my first experience of some rather questionable service standards. I took my T to a local Renualt dealer for pure convenience on my part i must add, just to finish off the last parts of a service. on returning to pick up the T and with paperwork and...

Hellooo i've got a bit of a problem with my clio, it doesn't start - all the electrics are working but the engine doesn't even tick over... Any ideas why? :cry:

Hi, I have just discovered a leak and could do with some help identifying what it might be. It is a pinkish fluid, there are no warning lights on the dash and the car appears to run ok. I will be getting it booked into a garage but could do with a heads up. Thanks James

Good day chaps! My recent MOT revealed a leaking driver's side damper. So it's my intention to whip the shocks off, send them to BG for refurb, off which i have just emailed. Just a note, I emailed Mark Fish first, who basically said use BG as they have the market covered for this job. While...

Hi, What does the warning light on my trophy mean... It is the one that looks like a heart monitor... it always as far as i can see is combined with the diesel heater light but I obviously don't have one of those... saying that there is water in the fuel.... is it ok to drive or should get it...

Seeing as I had a nice 11 day weekend, thought I'd tidy up the rear of my Trophy. Heres a quick writeup of what I got up to today The Number plates had been bugging me for ages (well 4years almost lol) with the large garage logo and border, seeing as they had started to fade aswell decide to...

2 Trophies together on seamer road in scarborough Tuesday 19th April, i was at work when you drove by :(

nearly hit 30k, so now been sent to garage for aux and cam belts, plugs, water pu pump, rear discs (bearing gone), general service, bit of opies Titan and exhaust fix. I might start driving it soon! (been real busy and the T has been sitting on driveway for a while)

My Trophy's exhaust back boxes are finally on their last legs and so the selection of an aftermarket cat back system begins... So the initial search led me to the KTR Ultra performance system, which has a 2.5 inch bore from cat back. A bit more research led me to the understanding that the...

OK, so last night i got the Geo done by a mates garage. Yes, they are a bodyshop, but when you are the authorised repairer for Lotus, Aston, Ferrari, Lamborghini & Pagani, you probably know how to set up a clio lol ... So, effectively, since we fitted the front suspension, the Toe has been out...

Having parked 415 in the Sevenoaks Leisure Centre car park late yesterday afternoon, I noticed a traffic warden giving it the once over as I headed for the gym. I was worried that the ticket had blown onto the floor or something, as the local wardens are real bastards around our way. I then went...

Hello one and all, Been looking into buying a Clio Trophy. Was just wondering what you guys recommend checking outside of the obvious when looking at Trophy's. I know the dampers may need refreshing. How do you know if they do? Are there any tell tale signs? Any help would be appreciated. Does...

Hi guys The names Scott and the lads on Cliosport have suggested I pop on here for some wanted advice. Basically I'm the owner of a 172 cup and a Trophy has come up for sale near by. Its for sale at £3995 and has done 70k miles. Just had cambelt done by renault etc etc and I want to part ex the...

My trophy has gone in for its major service. It went to a garage rather than Renault them selves due to it costing nearly 500 pounds more at Renault. My trophy was having everything changed that was on the Renault major service check list and genuine Renault parts however i had a small leak of...

can anyone recommend a garage in the north east for the cam and aux belt change, preferably one that wont pull me pants down :)

Drove 110 this weekend for the first time since November and its like having a new car all over again! Simply a sublime motor; handling, acceleration, sound, driver involvement, phenomenal! No real point to this post, just thought I'd share my Trophy enthusiasm! :D Now washed and tucked up...

Handling been shot lately and checked the tyres, 1 was on 7mm and the other on 2mm! Long story but had a puncture on the other 7mm and have been running a spare for a few months. Just got back from a local garage who fitted a new PS3 and did the allignment and filled the tyres with Nitrogen...
